I'm looking at this largely from CASE perspective (but then also supporting some of the K-12 Alliance work to add to CASE resources), the relationship shows strong commitment that CASE has to environmental literacy which aligns with their mission/vision. Additionally, this gives us all a posse of people that can each other advance work that supports educators and ultimately benefits CA kids and the place we live in. There's a leadership component to this as well - we are trailblazers compared to other states in this respect.

CAELI provides a space for increased awareness, collaboration, and action around shared values. Personally, I feel value in being able to contribute to these conversations (ensuring that ALL EE providers are considered, including nonformal and informal) and to bring back lessons and ideas to my professional community. Organizationally, having a presence here is important as AEOE continues to build our presence and increase our reach and impact.

My work is all about helping teachers to understand and take action on issues of global significance. Climate justice is font and center in those issues. CAELI allows CGEP to stay close to the issues, programs, and resources/people that relate to this issue. Working with CAELI strengthens the CGEP and CSMP networks to better align efforts that address the need for climate action locally and globally.
